The Francis Scott Key buoy is lifted by the crane on board Coast Guard Cutter James Rankin, a 175-foot buoy tender homeported in Baltmore, June 2, 2017. The buoy marks the spot where the ship carrying Francis Scott Key, the author of “The Star-Spangled Banner”, was anchored during the bombardment of Fort McHenry during the War of 1812.
